I've recently received a report that my application, fetchmail, should  
call OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(), see http://bugs.debian.org/576430
Apparently OpenSSL 0.9.8 does not load SHA256.

If this is needed, please document this requirement on the manpages  
crypto(3), ssl(3), and SSL_library_init(3). Fetchmail isn't using any EVP  
stuff besides EVP_md5, so the requirement to call _add_all_algorithms()  
was unknown to the authors.

Also, SSL_library_init(3) contains pointers to RAND_* initialization,  
however it does not link to EGD related pages.

As a general remark, it is very disappointing to see a "1.0.0" with a  
documentation that is so incomplete, so full of "TBD", "TBA" and similar  
remarks.
